Macy's offers 48-hour shopping marathon Dec.21-23

Macy's is eager to fill that need. The retailer just announced that it will expand its annual
last-minute 48-hour-straight shopping marathon to all of its stores around the country.

Beginning at 7 a.m. Dec. 21 through 7 a.m. Dec. 23, shoppers can make last-minute purchases
from the chain's last scheduled "One Day Sale" at any time of the day or night.

While sale offers will conclude at 7 a.m. Dec. 23, Macy's stores locally will stay open for
business for the remainder of the day, closing at midnight. Some stores -- none in Ohio -- will
remain open for another 24 hours.

In central Ohio, Macy's will be open for one last last-minute Christmas Eve blast, closing at
6 p.m.Dec. 24.

Macy's began the practice of keeping its doors open 24 hours with a store in Queens, N.Y., in
2006, adding stores every year.
